I just installed a new head gasket on my 92 for some reason now I have a bad oil leak between the head and block the head is not warped and it was torqued down to 64 ft.lbs any help would be greatly appreciated

Did you forget the cam seal on the back of the head?
richard93   +1y
No it is in there and sealed good the oil leak is coming from where the oil drains back from head to oil pan on passenger side of head

You must have broken the head gasket when you put the head back on. That or the head is badly warped or cracked.

Yeah head not warped checked it with straight edge and filler gauge possible cracked but doubt full seeing how the temp only got up to 3/4 hot and I let it cool completely before adding water and the head gasket still looks great I had to take it back apart I got another head for it I had forgot about so I guess just gonna change it out thanks man I appreciate itthough

I guess it was just my stupidity got in a hurry not really paying attention and had the gasket backwards which in turn covered the oil return port

That sucks, but accidents happen. At lease these trucks are super easy to get the head off.

I was HONESTLY going to suggest that yesterday, but held off because I didn't want to offend you.

Myself, I've done some of the stooopidest things....

He an, don't worry it happens to the best of us, my first summer job was doing oil changes battery changes and basic tune ups at a local garage. 6 months into the job i had a Durango to change the oil in, done it hundreds of times on many cars before. boom run through it, filled her up. went to let her idle and run the oil through, when my bossman ( HEAD HONCHO) walks out and gets doused and soaked with oil! I was like hooooooly shiiiiit wtf did i destroy on this new suv.

In my haste to push the vehicle out an get another in, i had just reached in and sit the oil filter on a spot near where it went in and didn't come back to actually put it on. Needless to say i only worked there about 2 more days before he told me i was let go. Sometimes things happen man we're only human lol.
